Queen Elizabeth II has appeared to criticise the global lack of action on climate change in comments caught on microphone.
The 95-year-old British monarch was filmed on a phone as she visited Cardiff to open the Welsh parliament on Thursday.
At one point, speaking to her daughter-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and parliament presiding officer Elin Jones, she said 바카라I've been hearing all about COP 바카라 I still don't know who's coming.바카라
On the recording, parts of which are inaudible, the queen also appears to say it is 바카라irritating바카라 when 바카라they talk, but they don't do.바카라
The queen is due to welcome leaders from around the world to COP26, a United Nations climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, at the end of the month. Several heads of state or government, including China's Xi Jinping, have not said whether they will attend.
A government minister, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, said the queen's comments had not been intended for broadcast.
바카라I think comments made in private should stay private, but we all share the desire to see progress made and we know there will be hundreds of leaders coming to Glasgow for COP,바카라 he told Sky News.
In Britain's constitutional monarchy the queen is meant to be above politics, and she rarely expresses opinions in public.
Her son and heir, Prince Charles, though, has long been outspoken on environmental issues. And Charles' son Prince William has also taken up the cause, backing the Earthshot Prize for environmental innovation that will be awarded on Sunday.
In an interview with the BBC broadcast Thursday, William criticised space tourism, saying the world's greatest minds should focus on fixing the Earth instead.
His comments were aired a day after the 90-year-old 바카라Star Trek바카라 actor William Shatner became the oldest person to fly to space, in a rocket funded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
